This book is moderately fast-paced leading it to be an easy read. The storyline picks up after the first book, as it is the second in a series; it builds upon the storylines, characters, and backstories that were established in the first book. This book introduced a new mystery for Holmes and Watson to solve that still intertwines the already established characters. I appreciated the character's thoughts were written and expressed in an easy way to understand and to help the reader gauge the turmoil and mention that this book posses. This book had a darker tone that progressed along with the story.
Moderate: Medical trauma, Kidnapping, Gun violence, Violence, Medical content, Drug abuse, Blood, Chronic illness, and Death
